The campaign, which was planned by British media agency the7stars, is set to run from
September 16th through to September 22nd, 2013 and will be delivered into the PC video
game Striker Superstars, which is one of many games participating in the Reloaded network.
Striker Superstars is a free-to-play online soccer game, boasting over 10m registered
users and more than 15 thousand matches played every single day. The ads will be located
on pitch-side hoardings, and on billboards situated throughout the virtual stadiums.



Using proprietary ad servers and technology, Reloaded is able to deliver in-game
advertisements in real-time to gamers playing with an active internet connection. The ad
servers also provide the ability to geo-target the Virgin Records campaign to United
Kingdom IP addresses only.



"It was clear from our research that Avicii fans crossed over into the gaming
community", says Kate Wyn-Jones, Media Planner at the7stars. "Reloaded Interactive offered
the ideal platform through innovative and impactful formats. The iconic Avicii branding
has achieved maximum stand out in game and has built awareness between gamers and the
album."



"The Virgin brand is synonymous with innovation and forward thinking, so it comes to
no surprise that they've successfully and creatively utilized video games as an
advertising channel", says Jordan L. Howard, the 23 year old Founder and CEO. "What makes
these types of campaigns so effective, is that gamers are actually expecting to see
billboards and ads in their virtual professional sports environment, otherwise the video
game wouldn't look and feel authentic".
